DIARY PART 1: 29 September – 07th October 2006

Worldtour 1st week

Hi all!

After my mail from last Friday apparently got lost anywhere, just a new try...informing you about my life (shortly). Please check my homepage
www.little-jochen-around-the-world.de under "Worldtour" - "on My way" - "Peru"
and my images under www.imagestation.com/members/Jochen.Kemmer
for some updates, relativeley regular ( Im just uploading some pictures once again)
The next days, I will do some trekking in the mountains around Huaraz (The Andes, Peru) and wont be able...first to wash myself ...second to read my mails.
Next possibility on Wednesday morning.
Nevertheless I would be happy to get your news...
thanks for your few sms...
Of cours I am missing JSP more than anything else ,-)
Although I havent spoken to you, I heard that you´ve found sb to replace the inreplacable?!??!
In each case, I have a better life now...

To make it short:
ITS JUST GREAT here!
Although I have already seen a few towns now (Lima, Cajamarca, Chiclayo, Trujillo and now Huaraz)...I feel much more impressed about "the people" than about the sights.
Of course, its amazing to see temples, which date 500 years before Christ...of course its amazing to discover the different ancient Peruvian cultures....but its not that what makes me really feel great...
Its more about the people, who are just soooooo friendly...

Traveling for my first 5 days alone, having not seen any other European or white guy...I really feel in another world.
Heading out of a bus, rushing in a group of pupils...ane everybody crying, shouting...wanting to make a picture with the "Gringo"...
that is nevertheless quite strange...
I was nearly as much shocked as the Peruvians seeing cows on one of the few farms in Peru...
What else...
Having spent most of my time chatting a bit with everybody...I finally got an invitation for marriage of a 38-old girl...
By the way...I didnt accept ,-)
Besides,,,,its just so "funny" the way you get just to cheap pricing ( a hostal for 3 EUR), showering cold...or often not, sleeping in a bus...
But it´s just great!!!
AS I´ll have a hard day in front of me tomorrow, I´ll head to bed now!
Wish you all the best and hope you read some more news on my homepages..
